Q: import from photoshop on pc
I bought a MacAir 13" in large part to make life easier; I already have iphone and ipad and love the ecosystem so far. But transition to pictures looks like it will be a lot harder. I have thousands of pictures on my PC that are tagged and rated in photoshop -- all my kids pictures, for example.
Is it possible to import those pictures into iPhoto with the star rating and faces still intact? I've looked all over the internet. Most searches seem to go the otherway, which leaves me anxious.
If you can't move from adobe to iPhoto, what is the next best option? Longterm, I'd like an extremely simple way for pictures to be shared within the family from iphone, etc. And I'm not excited to pay adobe $10/month forever just to keep this on old pictures (I don't see anything on adobe's website but a subscription service which is not what I had on PC).
Finally, either way, I'd welcome tips on the simplest way to get the photo and video library associated with the new computer from the external harddrive where it currently resides. I don't want to put files on computer harddrive, but access them from a network attached drive.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
